Repetier is a powerful aftermarket software used to control the printer. It voids the warranty and if used wrong could damage things. Use at your own risk! With these…

I came across this app today and was instantly intrigued. Why? because it appears to allow you to unlock advanced features like autonomous waypoints and auto-takeoff and land, and other things that really take your Dji to the next level. While I haven’t personally tried the app because I tend to use Pixhawk, it looks…

So it begins. “California lawmakers approve drone trespassing crime bills SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California lawmakers advanced legislation Monday seeking to rein in the use of privacy-invading drones, passing one bill to prevent the use of drones by paparazzi and another making it a trespassing violation to fly drones over private property without permission.…
